Dhruv Rathee Criticizes New Film Dhurandhar as Propaganda

Desk Correspondent , Mumbai - Famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has sparked a massive debate online after sharing his strong views on the new Bollywood movie Dhurandhar. He described the film as a well-made piece of propaganda that could influence people's minds in a negative way. Rathee compared it to other controversial movies like The Taj Story and Bengal Files, which have also faced criticism in the past. He believes that while some films are just poorly made, this one is much more effective and therefore more concerning. His comments have quickly gone viral, dividing the audience into those who agree with him and those who support the movie.

During his latest video analysis, the content creator explained how films can be used to spread specific political messages under the guise of entertainment. He warned his viewers to be careful about the information they consume through cinema. Rathee expressed his concerns by saying, "Dhurandhar is a well-made propaganda film which makes it even more dangerous than other films." He argued that high production values can make biased stories look like the absolute truth. He further added, "It is important for the audience to use their logic and not get carried away by emotions while watching such stories."

The film industry and fans are currently reacting to these sharp observations with mixed feelings. Some people feel that directors should have the freedom to tell any story they want, while others believe in social responsibility. The makers of the film have not yet officially responded to the YouTuber's claims of spreading a specific agenda. However, the movie continues to perform well at the box office despite the heavy criticism from several activists. As the discussion grows, it highlights the growing tension between creative art and political narratives in modern India.
